What is GIO Home Assist?

GIO understands that when a home emergency happens you need support to get things back up and running as quickly as possible. GIO Home Assist is an optional cover that provides 24-hour assistance for selected trade services in the event of a home emergency. It is not a general maintenance or preventative service (e.g. it does not cover painting, replacing light bulbs, or tap washers) or a disaster response service.

If you’re eligible and have selected GIO Home Assist as an optional cover on your new or existing GIO Home Insurance policy, you can call us at 13 14 46, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the event of a home emergency. GIO Home Assist becomes available to use 24 hours after purchase.

If the attending tradesperson is unable to complete the required works within the emergency call-out period (up to 2 hours), you will be informed of the potential options for completion.
